Real Paintings

April 11, 2017

Painters realize their inspiration on their canvas by choosing different colors, painting portraits, seascapes and scenes from everyday life or nature. American artist Alexa Meade, however, creates “real” paintings. She chooses “real” models and real objects, which she paints with great skill, so in the end, the result resembles a classic painting.

After that, she photographs the final results and creates unique collections which are exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world. “At first glance no one is able to understand whether it is a painting or colored human models! This, I think, is the charm of art; blowing your mind away!” says Alexa.

Taking a unique approach to the art of painting, this American artist has so far received numerous awards for her unusual projects. Besides, as she states herself, “the whole process of preparation is much more tiring than if I painted on a regular canvas with acrylic colors”.
